The Healthy Mind Mindfulness True Self and the Stream of Consciousness

The Healthy Mind Mindfulness True Self and the Stream of Consciousness

In The Healthy Mind Dr. Henry M. Vyner presents the findings of twenty-seven years of research spent interviewing Tibetan lamas about their experiences of the mind. The interviews have generated a science of stream of consciousness that demonstrates that the healthy human mind is the egoless mind given the paradox that the egoless mind has an ego. Vyner presents this science and also shows his readers how to cultivate a healthy mind. The Healthy Mind features extensive interview excerpts theoretical maps of the egoless and egocentric mind discussions of the history of science and thought experiments that unpack the implications of his findings. This is a useful book for all those interested in the dialogue between Buddhism and psychology and in understanding the nature of the healthy mind. | The Healthy Mind Mindfulness True Self and the Stream of Consciousness

Conscious Mind in the Physical World

Conscious Mind in the Physical World

We have seen remarkable progress in our detailed understanding of the physical world from the smallest constituents of atoms to the remotest distances seen by telescopes. However we have yet to explore the phenomenon of consciousness. Can physical things be conscious or is consciousness something else forever outside the range of physics? And how does consciousness interact with physical things? A lively account of quantum theory and its puzzles Conscious Mind in the Physical World examines two developments in particular that have altered the context of discussions about consciousness. One is computer technology which allows us to make machines that can calculate at speeds far greater than the human brain while the other is the study of the microscopic world. The book explores philosophical issues such as idealism and free will and speculates on the relationship of consciousness to quantum mechanics. This resource will stimulate physicists with an interest in philosophy philosophers interested in physics and anyone fascinated about the waking state of the mind.

Binding Space: The Book as Spatial Practice

Binding Space: The Book as Spatial Practice

Books orient intrigue provoke and direct the reader while editing interpreting encapsulating constructing and revealing architectural representation. Binding Space: The Book as Spatial Practice explores the role of the book form within the realm of architectural representation. It proposes the book itself as another three-dimensional complementary architectural representation with a generational and propositional role within the design process. Artists’ books in particular – that is a book made as an original work of art with an artist designer or architect as author – have certain qualities and characteristics quite different from the conventional presentation and documentation of architecture. Paginal sequentiality the structure and objecthood of the book and the act of reading create possibilities for the book as a site for architectural imagining and discourse. In this way the form of the book affects how the architectural work is conceived constructed and read. In five main sections Binding Space examines the relationships between the drawing the building and the book. It proposes thinking through the book as a form of spatial practice one in which the book is cast as object outcome process and tool. Through the book we read spatial practice anew.

The Virgilian Tradition Book History and the History of Reading in Early Modern Europe

The Virgilian Tradition Book History and the History of Reading in Early Modern Europe

The essays in this collection approach the reception of the Roman poet Virgil in early modern Europe from the perspective of two areas at the center of current scholarly work in the humanities: book history and the history of reading. The first group of essays uses Virgil's place in post-classical culture to raise questions of broad scholarly interest: How exactly does modern reception theory challenge traditional notions of literary practice and value? How do the marginal comments of early readers provide insight into their character and mind? How does rhetoric help shape literary criticism? The second group of essays begins from the premise that the material form in which early modern readers encountered this most important of Latin poets played a key role in how they understood what they read. Thus title pages and illustrations help shape interpretation with the results of that interpretation in turn becoming the comments that early modern readers regularly entered into the margins of their books. The volume concludes with four more specialized studies that show how these larger issues play out in specific neo-Latin works of the early modern period. | The Virgilian Tradition Book History and the History of Reading in Early Modern Europe
